Summary
Hunter Schafer shared that her newly issued passport incorrectly lists her gender as male, a result of Trump’s executive order requiring federal documents to use sex assigned at birth.
Despite selecting female and having her gender marker changed years ago, the new policy was applied to her application.
Schafer said she wanted to raise awareness rather than cause alarm, emphasizing that trans people will continue to exist regardless of government policies.
“A letter and a passport can’t change that,” she said.
Because they did issue a fully authorized passport… Even with the wrong information, the government has issues it for them to be able to travel
And because the information is inaccurate, it’s pretty likely to not work as a passport.
